RDB upd "splay" error

[leguan]

Hello everyone,

There is a RDB in our kxplatform(4.5) reported "splay" error when receiving data from TP (.u.upd is called) yestoday, the error message is like :

"error using update function" ### ("splay"; tableName; +`column1`column2....)

After i restarted the RDB, the error no longer exists.

The same error happened last week, one another RDB, and it was solved by restart. 

If anyone have a clue about the reason please let me know, thank you all！

best，

leguan，

Hi leguan,

Below I have a q process that has loaded in a splayed table from disk, and when I attempt to upsert to it I receive the splay runtime error:

q) \ls
"sym"
"trades"

q) \l .
trades
sym  time                          price

q) upsert[`trades;flip (5?`4;5?.z.P;5?100f)]

  [0]  upsert[`trades;flip (10?`4;10?.z.P;10?100f)]

 Compare this with a table defined in-memory (such as an RDB schema):

q)trades:([]sym:`$();time:`timestamp$();price:`float$())

q)trades
sym time price
--------------

q)upsert[`trades;flip (5?`4;5?.z.P;5?100f)]
`trades

q)trades
sym  time                          price

 Has a process or a user loaded (or memory-mapped) the splayed table (or entire HDB) from disk into the RDB process?

Best regards,

David

Hello David,  thank you for your answer!  There is no user or porcess loads hdb table to that RDB.  Well the good news is the RDB has been working fine since last restart.  Thanks agian and it is a great example!

The Reference lists for splay error: nyi op on splayed table. Does that help? Is there more to be said here?
